More than a year had passed since the appearance of the strange phenomenon on Kongming Island, and the endless Lightning Tribulations had finally begun to descend!
As soon as the strange phenomenon appeared on Kongming Island, the news quickly spread from the array masters of the various sects who were training in the Kongming Legacy Formation to the various sects.
The various sects naturally took this matter very seriously. Even though Mara was currently wreaking havoc in the South Sea, they still sent people to the Kongming Sea.
More than a year had passed, and not only had the patience of the various sects not been able to wear out the patience of the cultivators who were monitoring the strange phenomenon, but the vast and continuous phenomenon had made them even more certain that there was a treasure on the island.
"Looking at the pattern of the phenomenon, it seems to be the second Lightning Tribulation. There must be a mid Dharma adept who has advanced to the next level?"
The person who spoke was the white-haired old man surnamed Ji, one of the few array masters who had appeared after Lu Ping and Deng Ming had opened the teleportation portal of the Kongming Sect to Kongming Island. At this moment, the person standing beside him was a mid Dharma adept in his thirties.
The thirty year old adept seemed to understand what the old man surnamed Ji was trying to say. He smiled and said, "Uncle, please don't disturb me. Even if that person is undergoing the second Lightning Tribulation, I have seen the Lightning Tribulation of our sect's Yundeng Laozu when he became a great adept. The scene was much grander than this. Even if this person has really passed the Lightning Tribulation, I believe that he is just barely qualified to become a great adept. Even if I am no match for him, he may not be able to do anything to me. Furthermore, I am not the only one who has come to Kongming Island today!"
The old man surnamed Ji had a look of dissatisfaction on his face as he said, "Since this person was able to enter Kongming Island, he must have the Kongming essence on him. When the various sects besieged the Kongming Sect, they were forced to retreat due to the collapse of the formation. Perhaps there are still many treasures left on the island that have not been discovered, especially the core heritage of the Kongming Sect. Even the Kongming essence is a rare treasure in the world of practitioners. Therefore, this person must remain in the hands of the Liuyun Sect."
The thirty year old cultivator felt somewhat helpless. Although the Liuyun Sect was one of the four great sects of the South Sea, there were so many cultivators gathered in the Kongming Sea. There were also cultivators from the Eastern Sea and the southern Middle Lands who had heard the news, and he even saw the second direct disciple of the Crystal Palace, Li Shiqian. Although he knew that he was strong, he had no confidence in being able to defeat Li Shiqian. Even if he was lucky, he would still become the target of a multitude of cultivators.
The old man surnamed Ji seemed to realize that his thoughts were a bit unrealistic, so he added, "Since this person was able to enter Kongming Island, he must have more than one Kongming essence on him. Our sect must have at least one or two. This matter will depend on Martial Nephew Wu."
The thirty year old cultivator let out a sigh of relief and said, "Martial Nephew will do his best."
Similar scenes were playing out all over the Kongming Sea, and the content was more or less the same.
The skinny old man who had rushed over to intercept Lu Ping and the others after they entered Kongming Island frowned when he saw Li Shiqian. "That person on Kongming Island is clearly a great cultivator. Why did the palace send you alone?"
Li Shiqian smiled helplessly and said, "Martial Uncle Yuan Trigram, it's not that the palace doesn't care about this matter. It's just that there are some urgent matters that the palace has to attend to, so they can't leave for now!"
Yuan Trigram Laozu was slightly taken aback. "What urgent matters? Could it be more important than the Kongming essence? When the Kongming Sect was destroyed, there were only twenty-four out of thirty-two Kongming essence. The mysterious Divine Sense Carving Technique was also not found. The Kongming Sect's formation inheritance is also unknown. You should know that these things are related to the Myriad Poison Firmament Wall! "
Li Shiqian saw that Yuan Trigram Laozu was a little angry and hurriedly said, "Martial Uncle, please calm down. These years, the palace has been expanding. Back then, with the help of the Heavenly Profound Sect, we finally managed to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Now, the Heavenly Moon Sect has somehow colluded with the Green Sea Snakes. Now that the Heavenly Profound Sect is pressuring the Heavenly Profound Sect internally and Mara is wreaking havoc on the sea outside, they have come to ask us for help. The palace can't just ignore them, so they are even more lacking in manpower."
Yuan Trigram Laozu snorted coldly and said, "Neglecting the essentials for trifles! Look at what the palace has been doing all these years? Conquering the East and conquering the West, expanding in all directions, but running into obstacles everywhere. The collapse of the Northern Alliance was a good move. But in the end, Xiao Baiyu intervened, and the harvest was far less than expected. Although the Central Plains has gained a foothold, it was dragged into a quagmire, and suddenly stood on the opposite side of the five sects. Meddling in the North Sea is a bad move. What benefits can the North Sea get? "
Yuan Trigram Laozu was angry and continued to say, "And that Skyrend was aggressive before. Now that Xiao Baiyu came back and Senior Brother Yuan Yan was killed, no one in the palace has said a word! Now, he has a tacit understanding with the Green Sea Snake. I thought that after getting rid of the Northern Alliance, the Crystal Palace would be the real ruler of the East Sea. But now, the Old Man sees us in a more passive position. And the Old Man has to stay in the South Sea. Now, someone has entered the Dark Sky Island. What the hell is this! "
Li Shiqian smiled bitterly, but did not dare to interrupt. Although he was also a little dissatisfied with the Crystal Palace's method of expanding, only this person in front of him dared to criticize the strategy of his sect so loudly. After all, he was the top formation grandmaster of the Crystal Palace and had a high status in the Crystal Palace.
There were ten layers of formations in the inner layer of the Dark Sky Sea. This Laozu had already figured out eight of the eighteen formations on the ninth layer. Unfortunately, he had reached a bottleneck when he was figuring out the nine formations on the tenth layer. So far, he had only made some progress. In the current cultivation world, even if this Laozu was not the best in formations, he was one of the top five.
Although the two of them were conversing using voice transmissions, Patriarch Yuan Trigram's scowling expression had already fallen into the eyes of the cultivators from the other forces.
Li Shiqian thought for a moment and said, "Martial Grandmaster, based on the current situation, cultivators from all the sects in the south sea have come to investigate. However, it is clear that after the Five Elements Hidden Tortoise, the Calamity of Mara has swept across the south sea, and the strength that each sect has sent out is limited. If the cultivator hiding in the Dark Sky Island is really a great cultivator, then everyone might have to join forces. Although our sect is one of the six Sacred Lands, we are still too far away to help, and I'm afraid we won't be able to get the most benefits!"
Although Laozu was angry, he also understood the current situation. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "The Old Man is not good at fighting, so he can only help with formations. Other benefits aside, the fact that this person could suddenly enter the Dark Sky Island after a few thousand years means that he must be carrying some Dark Sky Essence with him. We were still missing eight pieces, and it is related to the Sky Wall of Poison. You must find a way to get a few pieces!"
Li Shiqian smiled and said, "With the help of Martial Grandmaster's formations, I, Shiqian, dare to fight even that great cultivator!"
At that moment, the ninth Lightning Tribulation descended on the Dark Sky Island. Pure Yang Qi sprinkled down from the sky.
The black-robed elder smiled at the person beside him and said, "It seems like it is as Martial Nephew said. Not only is this person's Lightning Tribulation weaker than that of a great cultivator, but the Pure Yang Qi is also much weaker. Even if he has reached the level of a great cultivator, his strength is still very limited."
The person beside the black-robed elder shook his head and said, "That's hard to say. This person could have gone through the Lightning Tribulation, but he insisted on coming to the Dark Sky Island to undergo the Lightning Tribulation in front of everyone. Could it be that he did not have the confidence to advance to the late Dharma stage before? Now that he has withstood nine Lightning Tribulations, and the Pure Yang Qi sprinkled down, he has really succeeded in advancing!"
The black-robed elder was shocked and said, "Martial Nephew Guang Yu, are you saying that the nine inner formations of the Dark Sky Island can reduce the effects of the Lightning Tribulation?"
The practitioner named Guang Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just a possibility. I can't say for sure."
The black-robed Laozu said wryly, "It's a pity that Mara is wreaking havoc now, and our sect can't spare any hands to deal with him. Otherwise, the Guangfa Sect would definitely capture this person alive at all costs!"
"Mu Heiyi and Guang Yu from the Guangfa Sect seem to have discovered something!"
Not far above the Dark Sky Sea, one of the two early Dharma adepts who looked extremely similar whispered to an old man in front of him.
This old man was also one of the formation masters who had chased after Lu Ping and the others. He looked in the direction of the black-robed Laozu and said, "No matter what they know, they will have to rely on this person on the Dark Sky Island. Now that this person has gone through the Lightning Tribulation, he is now absorbing Pure Yang Qi to stabilize his cultivation. I'm afraid it will take some time before he comes out of seclusion."
The other practitioner looked around and said, "Now that three of the four main sects of the South Sea have arrived, only the Honghai Pavilion is still missing."
"I'm afraid the Honghai Pavilion can't spare any hands. Who asked the Honghai Pavilion's dojo to be the closest to the Five Elements Hidden Tortoise that appeared that day? When the army of Mara charged out of the Five Elements Fog, they would naturally head for the Honghai Pavilion first!"
The first person was also gloating and said, "The people from the Honghai Pavilion are all fishes. They built their dojo at the bottom of the sea. If it weren't for Yuwen Jinglei's sudden warning, Mara's first wave of attacks would probably have broken through their protective formation. By then, even if the South Sea still had the name of the Honghai Pavilion, they would not have the face to call themselves one of the four main sects."
The other person also said, "What a pity."
The old man in front of the two of them snorted coldly and said, "The Honghai Pavilion has been around for tens of thousands of years. How can they be destroyed so easily? You two little things are so ignorant. No wonder you haven't even crossed the threshold of the mid Dharma stage."
The first person who spoke was not convinced and said, "Uncle, although we brothers didn't make it through the first trial, our combined attack technique is something that few people below the Dharma stage can withstand!"
"Combined attack technique?"
The old man laughed and said, "Although the two of you are twins and have a telepathic connection, your combined attack is 30% more powerful than an ordinary person's, but no matter how telepathic the two of you are, can you eat together and dress together? Can you guarantee that you will always be together? If someone really wants to deal with the two of you, as long as one of you is separated, a mid Dharma adept will be able to deal with the two of you!"
The two of them were silent for a moment. After a while, the old man said, "Previously, I instructed you to follow Yuwen Jinglei. Where is he now?"
The two of them perked up and said, "That Yuwen Jinglei left after his battle with Mara at the Honghai Pavilion and went in the direction of the Yulin Sect."
The old man laughed coldly and said, "As expected!"
